The Oldies Thread

No mate, I reckon that procession is just an RC holy communion procession, which never had any bother. The real trouble used to happen at the Orange Lodge marches, just like in Ireland, where the RC community would respond.....

I won't say this in the new ground thread, but I've actually had a bit of a reminisce already tonight with my dad about Goodison.
We both agree that we can't wait to get to the new ground..
But, we have sat in the same seats together since 1983.
As have most around us.
We've seen deaths, marriages, divorces, births for all those who sit with us, my own kids first games etc..
And by God have we seen some football.
My dad obviously goes far further back with Everton than 1983, and his memories include those with his dad, my grandad.
World Cup games FFS.. Imagine that now ?
Sat down with me grandad who told me about Dixie Dean etc.. Still with a glint in his eye as he told tales..

Let's hope we all make it to see us in our new home on the docks, as life has a habit of biting us on the Arse.

COYB.

We have all shared those memories, I used to go in the late 50's and early 60's with my dad before he died. I took my kids through the 70's and 80's and I want to take my granddaughter to a new stadium where she will see us win another title or five. This new stadium, whatever it looks like, will be fabulous.......
 
Whilst we'll all look forward to taking our seat in a state-of-the-art riverfront stadium, part of me really, really, really wants to see us win another trophy before we depart the Grand Old Lady.

To see an Everton team parade around Goodison with silverware in their hands and medals around their necks would be a fitting finale to over 125 years at the place we call home.

Come on you Blues, give us at least one more tear-laden celebration before we start to write new chapters to our history.

Taking the grandson to Goodison against Leicester . His first visit to , in his words , " The Greatest Stadium in Existence " . Is right ;)

* how easy is it to brainwash a 7yr old btw :D

Eldest son is also coming . He still remembers his first visit . Especially the noise that greets a last-minute winner .

Happy birthday kiddo.
My early to mid fifties saw what could be described as a dead sheep bounce. I thought all my faculties were returning.
Short lived I'm afraid.
The new ground announcement will ensure you will stay fit and we'll to walk through its portals in four years or so.
